Battlefield developer DICE has smashed into 2014 full of newfound vigour having recently released a brand new patch for the PC version of Battlefield 4 before rolling out a title update for the PlayStation 4 version of the game.

DICE has also confirmed that all platforms will be addressed this month with updates, so your platform of choice should be receiving a patch in the next week or so, too. What’s been fixed with the PS4 edition of the Battlefield 4 patch, though? Let’s take a look:
